It was at Hamlet that Simmons got away from his guards. While the prisoners were changing cars, Simmons managed to slip his handcuffs, and instead of walking into the car door, he gave a bound from the platform, escaping through a crowd of darkies who were standing around. Simmons at once took to the wood 8, and it is to be presumed that he did not allow the grass to grow under his feet. The night waa exceedingly dark and it would have been useless to have made an attempt to follow him.

His gestures are few, unstudied and not particularly graceful. The matter of his sermon, however, was admirable." Wednesday morning the town was full of delegates, ready for the opening of Conference. The Landmark says that committees of Conference sat yesterday for the examination of first, second, third and fourth year men. The following were examined and passed Firt-t year A White.

A Heavy Wreck on the Charlotte, Colombia and Augusta Road.

The wreck occured thirty miles this side of Columbia and resulted disastrously to the rolling stock of the company Capt. Mike Land was coming towards Charlotte in charge of the pay train which was going under a full head of seam, when it was suddenly sropped by coming in contact with the rear end of a freight train that was standing on the main line. The pay train was going at full speed and it crashed into the freight train with ter riblo force.

The mgine of the pay train split oue of the freight cars completely in two and ran on the side track carry ing another car with itself something after the syle of a turtle and its shell. The impending catastrophe was seen in time to avoid a loss of life. AU the hands on the freight train hopped to the ground and engineer, fireman, conductor and all aboard the pay train jumped off before the craih came and escaped with their lives The officers of the road held a court of inquiry and found that the accident was due to negligence on part of the freight train in not flagging the pay train that was known to be coming be hind. The conductor and all the crew of the freight train, with the exception of the engineer and the fireman, were discharged Collectrous To-Day tor ibe Orphans.
